Looking for info: a friend is working on a piece about accents. Does your accent have any baggage associated with it? Were you encouraged to speak in a different way growing up? Were you taught that certain accents meant certain things?

Replying to @br
In Portugal there is a stereotype that the people from the Alentejo region are lazy and their accent is very easy to spot. Of course this is not true but half of my family is from there and they constantly have to deal with this.

While living abroad, my accent has always sounded off for the region so people can immediately tell that I'm not from there and let me tell you, some people really hate foreigners.
